Artificial Intelligence

MSc in Artificial Intelligence

The School offers advanced MSc degrees in Artificial Intelligence. Our portfolio of MSc programmes offers great flexibility combined with the chance to study the most advanced topics in Computer Science in a vibrant community of world-class researchers.

All MSc students enrolled in any of our four specialist degrees study a common curriculum in the first four months including general skills training and the core module: Advanced Artificial Intelligence.

During the next four months students normally take one further core module: Research and Professional Skills in Computer Science, incorporating training in research techniques and advanced reading, and two specialized option modules, chosen from Language and Perception, Knowledge and Reasoning, Distributed Systems Architecture, Mobile and Multimedia Systems, Critical Systems Engineering and Software Architecture.

During the final three months of the course, students undertake an extended individual project agreed with staff, resulting in writing a substantial dissertation. Students enrolled on the specialized degrees must undertake projects in their chosen areas of specialization.

Access to certain specialised options may be dependent on good performance in a relevant first semester module. The exact programme of modules for each degree may be varied as part of the ongoing development of the courses.
